Another Pause! The Television Aerial...

 Our TV picture was all snowy all of a sudden!

Glenn tried this and that.
Douglas said "There is something wrong with the aerial."
They went out and looked.

The TV aerial had broken off and was hanging at an angle.
(The aerial has been there many years!)


Since we as a country migrating to digital signal the discussion was about - 
do we get another aerial for a short time?
Do we get the "box" that converts analogue signals into digital?
How do we record programmes still and watch them when we want to?
Is it possible to still record with our systems?!


Well - after trying this and that inside the house and outside - 
Glenn is mending the aerial in hopes of putting it back up again.
In the meantime we record programmes in another way.
Moenie my vra nie - ek kan dit nie verduidelik nie...

Glenn took the opportunity to trim the trees next door so that they 
cannot interfere with the aerial when he puts it up again.

When he trimmed the trees one of the branches fell and
broke one of the flat bathroom windows.

So another pause inside a pause...
We had spare glass for the windows, so I cleaned it
and Glenn replaced it this morning.
